Puraflo delivers dependable solutions with its firefighting water tanks, designed to support both automatic sprinkler and fire hydrant systems. Made from galvanised steel, these tanks offer maintenance-free durability and full compliance with AS 2304:2011, the Australian Standard for Water Tanks for Fire Protection Systems.
Australian Standard Requirements: What You Need to Know
The AS 2304:2011 standard outlines design, construction, installation, commissioning, and maintenance requirements for steel tanks used in fire protection systems. Puraflo’s tanks are manufactured to meet these guidelines, ensuring safety and regulatory compliance.
Beyond this, Puraflo tank systems are engineered to stringent loading and structural codes, including AS 1170 (Parts 1, 2 & 4) and steelwork codes AS 4100 & AS 4600, providing resilience under stress.
Built Tough: Key Features
Puraflo’s fire water tanks are built using:
- 0.8 mm corrugated steel shell with Z450 galvanised coating for advanced corrosion resistance.
- 0.42 mm Galvalume corrugated roof sheeting, for both durability and protection.
- A polyethylene liner offering exceptional flexibility, 700% elongation at break, tested to ASTM D638 and HPOIT ASTM D5885 standards.
These construction and manufacturing choices ensure both structural integrity and long-term performance under harsh Australian conditions.
